The relationship between biliary lipids, cholesterol saturation index, nucleation time, and serum lipids was studied in a group of 45 gallstone patients (10 male, 35 female; age 50.1 +/- 14.5 years). Bile was obtained by direct fine-needle puncture of the gallbladder under local anesthesia and sonog
In five patients with radiolucent gallstones, the effect of ursodeoxycholic acid (Urso) in doses of 250,500, 750, 1,000, and 1,250 mg per day on biliary lipid and bile acid composition was studied. Biliary cholesterol decreased from 8.8 f 0.8 mole% to 4.4 f 0.2 mole% at 500 mg Urso per day (7.1 mg p
